The Customize tabs in My Pictures, Videos & Music folders are gone. Any
body know how to get them back? THANKS.
 
Hi,

As in Common Tasks in general? If so, click the Folder icon on the top tool
bar. If your matters are deeper than that, see:

Common Tasks View - Disable or Enable (Line 78)

To use the Regedit: Save the REG File to your hard disk. Double click it
and answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad by
right clicking on the file and selecting Edit.

In Pro, it's a Group Policy (Run > 'gpedit.msc') setting under:

For Pro: Start/Run: gpedit.msc

User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows
Explorer

Double-click on Turn on Classic Shell and select Disable then OK your way
out. You may need to logoff and Logon for changes to take effect.

In Home, the associated registry key is:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Value Name: ClassicShell
Value Type: REG_DWORD
A value of 1 forces the classic shell (no common tasks or customize)

To regain common tasks (webview), delete this entry.
